Corn has done thankless work in sustaining working peoples for thousands of years. Civilizations across the Americas built their entire societies around corn. Unlike the refined grains prized by elites, corn was democratic: growable in marginal soil, stored for long periods, and easily ground into meal for tortillas or porridge. It was not only cheap and filling, but with excellent nutritional value. Of course, the pretentious elites can't appreciate this; they scream, "Vulgar!" at the productive worker's messy eating. But the proletarian cares not when his smiles show the kernels lodged between his teeth, he happily munches away regardless.
That’s working-class nourishment: unpretentious, affordable, and sustaining of the hard labor to which our great historical civilizations owe so much. The parasitic ruling classes always hated this, and bastardized the authentic corn-eating technique by introducing knifes and other alien elements. But the working class ate undisturbed.
Then there's Comrade Khrushchev (PBUH). In the 1950s and 60s, he practically turned corn into a symbol of Soviet modernization. Dreaming of a heartily filled Soviet working people, he imported the American corn-farming techniques and made lands throughout the Socialist motherland bloom untold acres of corn. As this plan led by the ardent Communists of the first Socialist republic had expressed, corn isn’t just food. Its fuel for the masses, a path to agricultural self-reliance, a rejection of luxury. It fed the factory worker, the soldier, the farmer. It’s the grain of choice for revolutionaries and labor.
Such is the world-historic role of corn.
You've discovered what's known as a staple food. In some places it's corn, in some places it's rice, others potatos, and I imagine there's others, but generally it's a carb.

Anyway the answer is no rice is more proletarian. Corn is the food of Ronald Reagan and the imperialists from Star Vs
reminds me of a joke i used to tell my parents
a large group of hundreds of people have been stranded on a big, really big island, all 300 of them after a luxury vacation ship has sank
after seeing the state of the island the group devided itself by its three leaders, the first group decided to go into the forest where there's an arable empty plot of land and grow farms, wheat potatoes rice corn vegetables that kind of thing, the second group decided to go to the grassland part of the island where they hand noticed lots of wild cows and sheep and domesticate them for food, the third group just stayed on the shore, finding a bay with lots of fish and sea food that they can hunt and live from eating
10 years later, and the fortified, numerous but weak, easy to mobilize and organise agraraian vegetable people's militia, are still trying to defend themselves against the hordes of tent sitting, constipated, horseback-riding meat diet eating steppe people, while the pescatarian, toothless, pirate life, viking people in the shanty town on the bay are vibing robbing both of them by sailing right behind them and looting their shit from their wooden homes or big tents
>>695986The destruction caused by Khruschev and his bourgeois-agronomist clique was plain to see even at the time. The Mendelist may have won this century, yet their days are numbered. When geneticist ideology has become an untenable fetter on production, Michurinism-Lysenkoism will give birth to a new proletarian agriculture and reclaim its rightful place within the greater history of the sciences.
Once again crops will be sown in patterns resilient to the harsh conditions of the Eurasian steppe, once again seeds will be treated to guarantee an optimal lifecycle to the plant and once again hybrids of the most diverse stock will bloom on the fields. Alongside the bust of darwin, biology institutes will place a bust of Michurin, the perception of Lysenko and Paul Kammerer will be revised, meanwhile Mendel, Morgan and Weisssman will finally be renounced like the creationist metaphysicians they are.
